History

The Macedonian Orthodox Church (MOC) created its first diocese in 1967 for Macedonian diaspora communities that covered Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. By 1981, the MOC split the diocese into two parts creating a diocese for Australia and New Zealand and another diocese for Canada and the United States. Metropolitan Methodius was placed to oversee the diocese in 2006. It was restructured after he went to the United States were the diocese was split as 3 regencies, the Midwest regency and East regency for the United States, and a Canadian regency. The Midwest regency has its seat in Crown Point, Indiana, led by Tome Stamatov, Father Branko Postolovski is in charge of the East regency, based in Syracuse, New York, and Father Trajko Boseovski oversees the Canadian regency located in Toronto, Canada. In 2010, the Diocese had 20 churches in the United States with 15,513 congregants.
